Chapter 284: The Wonderful Use of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner

"You call that thing emitting golden light a Ten Thousand Soul Banner?"

Xie Lihou was stunned, and the rest of the Xie family members were stunned as well.

Although they did not recognize the origin of the large banner in Ye Nangue's hand, that banner looked awe-inspiring and upright, filled with a dignified aura of an emperor. How could such an existence be called a Ten Thousand Soul Banner, a name that sounded like an evil artifact the moment one heard it?

Furthermore, when did this guy Ye Nangue's weapon become a large banner? Although the Ye family acted in a low-profile manner, the Xie family still had some understanding of the core figures of the Ye family.

If Xie Lihou remembered correctly, Ye Nangue's profession should be Dark Magus. When did this profession learn to play with banners?

"Don't worry about that." Ye Nangue stiffened his neck. "Have you people of the Xie family prepared yourselves to die?"

Ye Nangue waved the large banner in his hand, and a strong sense of oppression rushed toward them, giving everyone in the Xie family the urge to kneel down.

"Hold on!"

Xie Lihou let out a deep shout and charged directly toward the direction where Ye Nangue was. At the same time, he opened his large hand, and sharp metal spears condensed and formed in mid-air.

Both being in the Star Realm, on the premise of a one-on-one, Xie Lihou would not be afraid of Ye Nangue.

"Heavenly Craft Eight Directions!"

Eight sharp metal spears shot toward Ye Nangue at high speed, and the surrounding space twisted under these eight spears.

But the next second, Ye Nangue's figure strangely disappeared from where he was!

"Space-type skill? Is this the Otherworldly Dimension?!"

Xie Lihou's pupils shrank violently. The Dark Magus profession was indeed strange!

But the current situation did not allow him to think too much; Ye Nangue had already appeared in the middle of the Xie family crowd.

Seeing this, Ye Lin took out a dagger without hesitation and seized the opportunity to stab it into Ye Nangue's heart!

His timing was grasped perfectly; it was exactly the moment Ye Nangue appeared from the void, and Ye Nangue had absolutely no way to dodge!

"Well done!"

Xie Lihou was very pleasantly surprised. It seemed that this guy being favored by the family head was not completely useless!

"Hehe."

Ye Lin scratched his head shyly.

But Ye Nangue, who had been stabbed, not only did not die on the spot, but the aura on his body became even more terrifying.

"Jiejiejie... the human body is too weak, so... I am no longer human!"

Ye Nangue let out a roar, sending Ye Lin flying on the spot. Afterward, blood-colored flames ignited on his body, looking incomparably strange, like a Shura from hell!

Ye Nangue rushed toward the Xie family member closest to him, using the large banner in his hand as a long staff, and stabbed directly at the other party.

Although this person's strength was not as high as Xie Lihou's, his level was still 86, making him one of the top geniuses of the Xie family's younger generation.

Facing Ye Nangue's offensive, he immediately dodged to the side and prepared to launch an attack.

But at this moment, Ye Nangue suddenly raised his hand and aimed at him.

"Fireball Technique!"

The Xie family member was stunned for a moment. Wasn't the Fireball Technique the most basic common skill? How could someone still be using the Fireball Technique when they were already in the Star Realm? Wasn't this like Lu Bu riding a dog?

But the next second, the small fireball suddenly surged, forming a brilliant golden sun, instantly drowning the Xie family member in front of him!

Miserable screams resounded through the sky; the pain of being burned by the high-temperature flames was simply not something an ordinary person could endure.

Fortunately, Ye Nangue was kind.

Ye Nangue leaned forward, rushed directly into the sea of fire, grabbed him, and refined him instantly; the screaming stopped abruptly.

As the firelight extinguished, that Xie family member disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared in this world.

And as Ye Nangue waved the large banner, a scene that made everyone present shudder appeared!

The companion they had just seen die appeared before their eyes again, only his body looked illusory and transparent, as if it would dissipate if the wind blew.

As soon as that Xie family member appeared, he began to beg for help vividly, but the next second, he was directly sucked into the large banner. Even though he struggled desperately, he still could not resist the suction of the banner.

After he was completely absorbed by the banner, Ye Nangue waved the large banner again, and the man appeared once more.

Only this time, his expression was numb and stiff, just like a robot that had been programmed with instructions, having lost his own consciousness.

"Is this... a human soul?"

Xie Lihou's Adam's apple could not stop bobbing up and down. Even he felt a chill down his back at this moment; this was too strange!

This Ye Nangue could both devour a person's body and devour and control a person's soul; it was simply strange to the extreme. What kind of evil method was this?

"No... no... you are not Ye Nangue!"

Xie Lihou's expression changed wildly.

"Ye Nangue does not know fire-type spells, and the Ye family would never allow their clan members to learn such man-eating, strange, evil methods. Who exactly are you?"

"I am Ye Nangue, genuine and authentic. You say I am not Ye Nangue; do you have proof?" Ye Lin, who was disguised as Ye Nangue by wearing the Corpse Underworld Hidden Robe, sneered.

There are some things you can do, but you cannot do them openly, and you certainly cannot admit that you did them. This was the principle the Emperor of Humanity taught him.

As Ye Nangue waved the large banner in his hand, the soul body of the Xie family member who had just been killed rushed toward the others.

Without a physical body, his strength was less than one-tenth of what it was, but no matter how many times he was killed, as long as that large banner was still fluttering in the wind, this soul body could revive and fight again!

Ye Lin felt his heart heat up. As long as the Emperor of Humanity Banner was there, the soul body would not die, which meant that to kill the soul body, one must first kill him, the holder of the Emperor of Humanity Banner!

What a coincidence! He, the holder, was also an immortal body. Wasn't this a closed loop?

With only one soul body, the power of the Emperor of Humanity Banner was not enough to be displayed, but if there were many soul bodies, that would be a dense army of a million immortal soul bodies! Even a Third Realm powerhouse would be exhausted to death, right?

"Stop with your sophistry. If you really are Ye Nangue, then why don't you know dark spells?" Xie Lihou continued to press him.

"Dark spells? Who said I don't know them?"

Ye Nangue grinned. You reminded me, didn't I just learn them?

Ye Nangue raised his hand and aimed at another Xie family member.

"Dark Blessing!"

【Professional talent sublimation activated, Dark Blessing has been strengthened into Eternal Night Veil.】

【Forbidden Spell: Eternal Night Veil: The Forbidden Spellcaster offers their own flesh and blood, summoning the most terrifying curse from the endless abyss. All things will decay and fall under this curse; dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth.】

The Xie family member targeted by Ye Nangue showed horror. A layer of black veil spread out from the void, slowly wrapping around him.

No matter how he resisted or attacked that layer of veil, it had no effect. The time around him seemed to have frozen; his body aged rapidly, and his skin began to grow age spots and wrinkles, until finally, he turned into a handful of dust and disappeared.

Afterward, with a wave of the large banner, another semi-transparent soul body appeared under the flag. Ye Nangue looked at Xie Lihou and said indifferently.

"I generally don't like to use dark spells; it might have something to do with my upbringing."
